Two-wheeler Sales in Italy Up 41% in 2006

Italy's two-wheeler market grew in February, with registrations of motorcycles and scooters up 56 percent to 32,051 units. The increase was due mostly to Italian Mail purchasing 7,450 scooters. Still, without the Italian Mail purchases, sales were up 19.8 percent.
Total two-wheelers sales in Italy during the first two months of the year numbered 80.565 units, up 41.9 percent from sales for the same period last year.
